I won’t be sporting grey hair on my show : Ssharad Malhotraa

Ssharad Malhotraa, who plays Rishi in 'Kasam Tere Pyar Ki', was initially apprehensive about turning daddy on screen. It's only after much thought that the actor agreed to be a part of the seven-year-leap that the makers had planned.

He says, "Initially, I was apprehensive about portraying an older character. However, many people have told me that as an actor, I have to take on different roles. Moreover, this is a finite role on an evergreen show, where there is a lot of excitement on and off the set. Though I had played a father in 'Bharat Ka Veer Putra —Maharana Pratap', it was a historical. Now, I am playing the father of a seven-year-old girl. Of course, it is a little weird, but on the show, she and I are more like friends. Our bond is like that of Rahul-Anjali in 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'."

While he is playing a father, Ssharad is not going to sport a salt and pepper look. He reveals, "My character looks quite mature because he has been through a lot, in terms of life and love. However, I won't be sporting grey hair and there is no typical salt and pepper look either; the only change will be in my clothes and body language."

Meanwhile Ssharad's excited about his short film by debutante filmmaker Aneeta Patel. He says, "Firstly, it is a change from acting on TV; it feels nice to convey a story in a limited time frame. In this case, it was the script that got me hooked. I play a business tycoon who is a charmer.".
